AMBER

SHERLOCK

M

ore than a year since a tense off-air

exchange involving Sherlock was

leaked, went viral and became

known as Jacketgate, the Nine News Now

presenter, 42, sits down for a tough ask with

WHO contributor Shannon Molloy.

What’s the biggest misconception

someone may have of you?

That I live a glamorous life. The reality is

that I work full-time and have two small

children. Most nights I am up to my elbows

in homework, bed-time stories, washing

and packing lunches.

How often do people bring up Jacketgate

and does it upset you?

Not much any more, and if they do, it’s

usually in good humour. I think Jacketgate

is part of the Australian vernacular now!

If you had $1 million to give to charity,

which one would you choose and why?

I would split it between Miracle Babies and

Humpty Dumpty Foundation. My daughter

was born six weeks premature

and both these organisations

are doing amazing work

providing vital support

and equipment for sick

kids and their families

around Australia.

Declutter or collect?

I’m definitely a collector.

I have a whole storage

space full of stuff.

I love stuff.

What was your

favourite toy as

a child?

Not quite a toy

but I had this

vinyl ABBA

bag I used

to take to

kindy. I

loved that

bag. I took it

everywhere.

So what’s in

your handbag

right now?

A phone, wallet,

makeup, hard-copy

diary, receipts,

musical-theatre

stubs, five biros,

a water bottle,

and children’s bits

and pieces. I have a

very big handbag!

Gosling plays Neil

Armstrong around

the time of the 1969

moon landing in

First Man, directed by

fellow Oscar winner

Damien Chazelle.

Ryan Gosling re-teams withLa La

Landdirector Damien Chazelle to

bring the legend of Neil Armstrong,

the first man to walk on the moon,

to the big screen inFirst Man.“We

wanted to tell the story about one of

the most epic accomplishments in

human history but root it very much

in the intimate day-to-day details of

what it was actually like to be Neil at

that moment in time,” says Chazelle,

who approached Gosling about this

role before asking him to star inLa

La Land. Playing the astronaut in

the historical drama (Oct. 11) came

easily to Gosling, 37. “What

fascinated me about Armstrong is

that for someone who accomplished

one of the most famous things that

anyone has ever accomplished, the

man himself is a little bit of an

enigma,” Chazelle, 33, adds. “Ryan is

able to capture that quiet heroism.”

I also love wearing ties, and

I can tie my own. I am working

on learning different knots.

I don’t have a lot of input on

my clothes, but I like that

Sheldon dresses up a little

more than most people

because I like to do that, too.

How are you doing at school?

I am learning a lot of new

vocabulary words.
